“…Menacanthus eurysternus is found on 20 families, 70 genera and 176 species , mostly from Passeriformes and a few Piciformes (PRICE, 1975). This is the first record of this host-parasite association, although this species has been reported recently in Brazil on Turdus leucomelas Vieillot, 1818(ENOUT et al, 2009.…”

A collection of chewing lice was studied from the Natural History Museum of the Universidade Católica de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Twenty three samples from 16 bird species were examined. Included therein was a new species of the genus Plegadiphilus Bedford, 1939 which is described, illustrated and compared to P. cayennensis Emerson & Price, 1969. An updated list of chewing lice species recorded from birds of that state is presented.

From unwanted squatters to good tenants: Ectosymbionts and their relationships with body condition of Atlantic Forest Passeriformes

et al. 2021

Many organisms live in or on birds, with arthropods being the best studied ones. Ectosymbiotic arthropods may parasitise birds by feeding upon blood or feathers, thereby causing injury or competing for essential resources. Nevertheless, ectosymbionts sometimes cause no adverse effect to birds because they consume only excess preening oil, debris and microorganisms on feathers. The influence of these ectosymbionts on host body condition is still poorly understood, especially for species living in one of the most endangered biomes, the Atlantic Forest in South America. We tested for the relationships between ectosymbionts and host’s morphological traits: flight muscle condition, mass index and feather growth rate. We inspected the body surface of 282 individual birds of 45 understory‐dwelling species looking for ectosymbionts and estimated vane‐dwelling feather mite load in their remiges. We calculated ectosymbiont prevalence and mean infestation intensity in 193 individual birds from 11 species. In seven species (n = 106 individual birds), we tested for the relationship between ectosymbionts and morphological traits using generalised linear mixed models. We found a negative relationship between the presence of ectoparasites and the host pectoral muscle condition, supporting the parasitic nature of tissue‐feeding symbionts. Nevertheless, we found no relationship between vane‐dwelling feather mite loads and hosts’ morphological traits, which supports the hypothesis of likely commensalism between these organisms.

“…É a segunda espécie de psitaciforme mais criada no mundo, como ave de estimação, e em 1998, foi classificada pelo Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Humanos Renováveis (IBAMA), como pertencente a fauna doméstica (MAIA, 2009). Embora o conhecimento sobre parasitas de aves de produção seja relativamente extenso, estudos sobre parasitas de aves silvestres ainda são restritos (ENOUT et al, 2009). Roda e Farias (1999), afirmam que as aves silvestres abrigam uma fauna de ectoparasitas típica.…”

No Brasil, os estudos sobre ácaros de penas ainda são escassos. Esses ácaros plumícolas são ectoparasitas obrigatórios, e são transmitidos por meio do contato direto entre aves, principalmente da mesma espécie, já que suas penas favorecem um habitat adequado para a sobrevivência dos ácaros. Esse trabalho tem o objetivo de relatar a ocorrência do ácaro plumícola Nymphicilichus perezae em duas calopsitas (Nymphicus hollandicus) atendidas em uma universidade no município de Canoinhas, Santa Catarina. As aves apresentavam prurido intenso, perda de penas acentuada e autobicamento. Após avaliadas as amostras de penas, o ácaro plumícola N. perezae foi identificado. O tratamento instituído com permetrina foi eficaz na eliminação dos ácaros. Esse ácaro foi recentemente descrito e são poucos os relatos de sua presença ocasionando sinais clínicos em calopsitas no Brasil e no mundo.
